Plot
The film follows Arjun, a Hindu man, and Khushbu, a Muslim woman, whose families share a long-standing friendship despite belonging to different religious communities. Arjun meets Khushbu during a wedding ceremony and develops romantic feelings for her. Aware of the social and religious differences between them, he chooses not to express his feelings.
When Arjun decides to confess his love, his father suddenly suffers from kidney failure and is admitted to a hospital. During this period, Khushbu’s parents arrange her marriage to another man from their community. Unaware of Arjun’s feelings and adhering to her parents’ wishes, Khushbu agrees to the marriage.
As the wedding approaches, Arjun becomes increasingly distressed, creating tension between the two families. On the day of the wedding, Khushbu’s father stages a fake heart attack to stop the ceremony, bringing both families together at the hospital. There, Arjun publicly confesses his love for Khushbu in front of their families. Khushbu realizes Arjun’s feelings and acknowledges her own.
Moved by the couple’s sincerity, both fathers withdraw their objections and give consent to the relationship. Khushbu later converts to Hinduism in order to marry Arjun, and the two are married according to Hindu wedding rites.
In a post-credits scene, Arjun and Khushbu are shown several years later as a married couple with two children, a boy and a girl.

Reception
Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, ISHQ HAI TUMSE has an attractive star cast and tuneful music as its strong points, but a routine script is its biggest weakness."[3] Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff.com wrote that "Why was Ishq Hai Tumse made?"[4] Kavitha K of Deccan Herald wrote that "A dud movie like this does nothing to revive Dino Morea’s run at the box office though he manages to turn in a fairly decent performance".[5] Anupama Chopra of India Today described the film as an "unpalatable mess," noting that outdated characterisations and a reluctance to depict the leads’ feelings detracted from the narrative.[6]
